I love this watch. The online photos just don't do this watch justice. It's even more attractive in person. It is amazing at just how light weight the watch is. This is by far the lightest metal band I have ever had. The size adjustment service was dead-on perfect and not a blemish to indicate it was ever adjusted. The engineering of this time piece amazes me. With all of the features it offers, the operation is simple enough that even I can understand it. The satellite gps function is amazing. The watch shipped from California (PST) and was set to that time zone. I live on the East Coast, so naturally the time was not set to my time zone (EST). The only issue I have is that the reception does not work when the weather is severely overcast. I had to wait until there was an opening in the cloud cover before I was able to receive a signal. Once that happened though, wow...fatest time set I have ever seen in analog. A minor nuisance in my opinion. I'll say it again, I love this watch. Absolutely beautiful.
Just a amazing Time Machine it’s perfect for my collection. The perfection of the craftsmanship is amazing. Overall I love it.
The watch is beautiful. With that said, I wanted a watch that would automatically update to the time zone I happened to be in. The watch was shipped from California to Maryland. After two days in Maryland, it stayed on west coast time. I had to manually change the time zone to the time zone to the east coast. Not happy about that at all. Am curious to now see if it will automatically update for daylight savings time.
This is a gorgeous watch! Absolutely stunning looks and amazing tech. I love the black titanium and the carbon fiber. I would love it more if the carbon fiber popped like it does in the pics, but it is a bit more subtle in real life, especially the dial. I posted a pic with my carbon fiber knife so you can see the difference. I have 7.5 inch wrists, and I would say that is a minimum size. If you have smaller wrists than that this thing will look huge on you. It is pretty fat. It was very cool how the watch set itself as soon as I opened the box! It is always spot on as adjust itself quickly as long as it can see the sky. I have yet to travel and see how it adapts to time zones, I will update if it fails. However, the main reason I can't give it 5 stars because I have no idea how to really use the thing. There is a generic manual available for the caliber, which I had to go search for, but it is hard to follow as it is just text instructions with a simple line drawing diagram. I was really surprised they don't have videos for the Attesa line to show off all the cool features. For over $2k I expected a bit more tech support. How do I set world time? Why would I switch from RX-TIME to RX-GPS mode? How do I set the alarm (this is not even mentioned in the instructions). What the heck is LLI mode? So many questions for my new toy! Kinda driving me crazy. I thought the app would have all sorts of things to help set and explore, but it is just for registration. Finally, after sizing the band (I have pro watch tools and usually prefer to do it myself) the pins are a bit loose and sometimes work themselves out a little. I will need to add a smidge nail polish to the ends to lock it back into place, most of my watches are sub $500 and none of them have had that issue. The micro adjustments on the band are pretty slick though, well done on that. Overall this is a great watch, beautiful build, very cool tech, but not quite the luxury experiencing I was expecting for the price.
I have two other Citizen watches and this one is a nice addition. Looks elegant even as a dress watch. I only wish it had eliminated hands and dial especially at this price point.
Almost feel like I should be using soft white gloves to handle this watch. Third Citizen I've had, and this one is almost too nice.
Needs more lume on the hands, otherwise very nice.
I am very happy with my purchase. It is a watch I wear daily since it is light and comfortable. No complaints here on craftsmanship.
I almost bought a Swiss watch but couldn’t find one I could wear with an Italian high end suit and cargo shorts with a comic book tshirt! This watch is perfect with a high end suit and still not so gaudy flashy that would look ridiculous when you dress down. I get compliments from people up close to me who notice the watch. But I bought it for me not them!! Love how it looks with my suits too!!
Hadn't purchase a watch in a bit (15 years) but finally got the bug. I own two Tags, love them both, but I am also attracted to the combination of style and next level functionality in an analog platform like Citizen (I already owned one prior to this purchase). This watch does not disappoint. It is a beautiful piece, obviously well-crafted and constructed. It is very light due to the construction of the band and fits like a glove. My wife loves the sophisticated look of the black on black. Functionality is what you would expect from Citizen, it does everything but calculus! I travel frequently, so being able to switch time zones based on satellite location data is a dream come true. Also, having a twin-time display is a huge plus. If you are looking at this level of a watch, you aren't looking for price, you are looking for value. You can go way higher in cost with other brands, but if you are shopping in the single digit thousands, the value this brings in beauty and functionality cannot be beat!
Excellent quality, amazing look. Super light, and micro adjust is perfect. Pins are easy to remove to adjust links. 10/10 overall!!!
Great watch. Regretfully I had sent my watch in for repairs and they had discontinued production of particular parts I needed. Citizen gave me a cash off code, so I purchased the attesa. Fast delivery, packaged well.
